To the original poster:
You shouldn't fret so much. Yes, e-ink is vastly overrated, but it's not all that bad. I've been labeled the "anti-e-ink guy" here before and even I don't want to go to extremes to describe it that way.
On my somewhat more realistic scale, if 1 is completely unreadable and 10 is a good trade paperback or hardcover with good paper/printing, I'd give vanilla e-ink Vizplex a solid 6. I'd give the slightly inferior touchscreen ones more like a 5.5.
If you work with it enough, you can pretty easily lower your standards to the point where using it isn't quite so offensive. So don't lose hope completely. If you've relied on hype and stuff to convince you to get a device, it's easy to be disappointed at first.
